crocs

Confession time: I own Crocs.  They’re my guilty pleasure.  I love to wear them with a big thick pair of hiking socks.  Total comfy foot bliss.  And to up the tackiness factor of these clunky fugsters, I have a couple of those little Croc charms in them.

I know they’re not terribly fashionable (understatement of the year).  But I think of my Crocs as a radical counter-point to all the horrendously uncomfortable but super hot stilettos I have in my closet.  Besides, I don’t wear them out of the house too often, and generally only when they’ll just be peeping out from under a pair of big comfy pants while I run some errands.

A super fashionable friend of mine was over visiting recently and was totally horrified to discover that I owned a pair of Crocs.  She insisted that I get rid of them and upgrade to a cuter pair.  I can’t bring myself to throw out a perfectly comfy pair of Crocs, especially with gardening season right around the corner, but I was looking on the Crocs website and found 5 pairs that I think are super cute (below).  They’re the alice, malindi, and olivia styles.  I’m a bit hesitant to order a new style online when I’m not quite sure of the fit, so I’m going to try to find some in town here to try on first before deciding.

While we’re on the topic of footwear that should NEVER have high heels, I have to mention the dreaded high-heeled Crocs.

Full disclosure: I will admit to owning a pair of crocs (the original kind, before they came out with 239420348203498 variations).  Sure, they’re big and clunky, but damn those things are comfy.  So I understand the appeal.

I’m sure someone at the Croc factory was thinking, Gosh these are comfy…if only there were a way to make heels this comfy…wait a minute…EUREKA!!

But adding a heel to chunky, rubbery slippers?  Let me tell you, that’s about as hott as it sounds.

Stop the footwear-combining madness, people!  Do you want comfy slippers, or do you want heels?  You can’t have it both ways without invoking the fug!
